Knockout Meteor v0.1 – A Meteor-to-Knockout bridge

[stevel...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I offer, for your scrutiny, the first version of Knockout Meteor. It creates Knockout Observables based on queries against Meteor Collections. When the results of those queries change, Knockout Meteor will ensure that the associated Observables are updated.

Why?

Knockout lets you create complex associations between Javascript model data and DOM elements using an expressive and declarative binding syntax. The Knockout Mapping plugin excels at atomically updating your Javascript models (and hence your UI) based on incoming data, updating only that which has changed. These are two strengths that Meteor does not currently possess.

Meteor, however, makes it incredibly easy to ferry model data back and forth between a server and its connected clients. Knockout Meteor acts as a bridge between these two frameworks. It lets you construct queries against Meteor Collections that behave like Knockout Observables that update themselves atomically and automatically when the results of those queries change.

I look forward to your comments, issues, opinions, and any pull requests you come up with.

Cheers,

Steve…

Hi there,

Great initiative! I will certainly check this out later.

The Knockout template system seems more powerful to me then Handlebars templating.

Thanx,
